 Barnsley v Swansea City : Play Off Semi Final : The Real Danger Man Valérien Ismaël 9th May 2021 14:25One of the most impressive managers in the championship this season has to be Valérien Ismaël. Now a German citizen he was born in Strasbourg, France. During his playing career, Ismaël played for Racing Strasbourg, Crystal Palace, RC Lens, Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich, and Hannover 96. He has taken that success as a player in to his coaching methodology and very similar to Steve Cooper - but at a far higher level, Valérien Ismaël knows exactly how to guide and mentor his players.  1

Planks between barrels for tables, I think it was 3 ciders and 1 lager on tap, no beer so we would have had to have been on the cider, lager being for girls and continentals at that time if you was from my neck of the woods. | |

New found out had an ansells sign on the front but was certainly not an ansells pub ! It wasnt straw on the floor it was sawdust . The roughest pub I have ever been to bar none.
They only sold rot gut cider as was mentioned -probably the nearest you could get to a Welsh version of a Pigalle /Montmartre absinthe den of the late 19 th century. |  | | |

The Champions league final has been moved to Wembley apparently, which falls on the same day as the play off final, meaning its probably going to get moved. |  |

They must have been watching our team performances with an objective eye.
At face value ,we have little chance,which should be perfect incentive. Hopefully,Steve will be telling them the football world has little time for us -so time to prove people wrong.
Steve has got the face to stare anyone down | |

Bookmaker odds aren't ever objective. Some rich nutcase can put a lump sum on Barnsley and our odds will go down as the companies make betting on us more attractive to their customers. Not worth paying any attention to them. | | | |

Pathetic! It's not an England game, it's Chelsea and Man City.

No, but they are both English clubs...... And their fans are going to be primarily...... English!
Isolation exemptions and sponsorship seem to be why UEFA are favouring Portugal. | |

Fair play your xenophobia knows no bounds, the reason Euefa now want to move it to Portugal is pure greed to satisfy their sponsors. | |

I think you've got entirely the wrong end of the stick. I have no idea what on earth you're getting at.
What is it you're trying to say that I said that's xenophobic exactly? [Post edited 10 May 2021 23:41]

Looks like fans will be allowed in for the play off games hosted in England.. No news yet if Newport or Swansea will be allowed any fans for their home matches. Hopefully Drakeford will make his mind up on Friday. | |

The EFL have said that if Welsh supporters are not allowed into the home leg due to Welsh regulations no supporters will be allowed into the corresponding English leg to ensure fairness. |  | | |
